Amazing Matcha, I love the salted cheese one, even though there is always a huge line service is super fast!

Tadaima is one of my favorite Matcha spots in San Francisco. The mission location is rich of history and it's always an experience to visit. The variety of Sando (Japanese Sandwich) are crazy. The Chicken Filet and Strawberry are my go-to. I have never been a fan of Salted Cream cheese but the staff convinced me to try it with a Hojicha Latte and it was 10/10, perfect combo. The Hojicha was super aromatic which I love and not too bitter. read more

Tadaima - Mission - Strawberry & Cream Sando and Hojicha Latte w/ Salted Cheese Cream - Japanese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Great place for matcha! I got the pistachio cream matcha latte and my friend got the strawberry cream matcha latte. The cream toppings really tasted like pistachios and strawberries, respectively. The matcha latte part is not that sweet, and the matcha flavor was strong. There is very limited seating here, only one table and a bench outside the store. But it's pretty close to Dolores Park, so you can grab your drink and then go enjoy the park. Service was good! read more

Date: Wednesday, April 8th, 2026 Meal: Lunch Delivery Ordered Thru: DoorDash DashPass Time Placed: around 2pm Arrived: about 45 mins later Neighborhood Delivered to: Outer Richmond *Potato & Egg Salad ($15.50) *Straight Matcha ($6.25) - Iced, Less Ice, No Sweet *Regulatory Bag Fee ($0.25) *Long Distance Fee ($1.99) *Service Fee ($1.99) *Tax ($1.41) *Discount (-$10.88) I was on an egg salad sandwich kick and decided to try Tadaima. I had heard good things and the pictures looked promising. I believe DD was having some kind of deal, so I was able to get the discount above. Worth it since the sando is typically almost $16. So if you are ordering thru DD, make sure it's when they are doing a discount. It might coincide with HH pricing between 2pm and 5pm on the site. The sando was creamy and soft. Just what I wanted in terms of texture. A good size as well. My only gripe is it was sweet. I don't mind a hint of sweetness, but it was a lil too sweet for me. Otherwise I enjoyed he flavors. Was very happy to have a fluffy soft sando. Great spot for their egg sandos. I just wish it wasn't so sweet. REVIEW #4044 read more

Perfect strawberry cream matcha latte - one of the best I've tried in the city. The lines can be long so keep that in mind but it moves quickly and is worth the wait. I loved the strawberry cream foam on top but I wish it was 50% less sweet. It could easily be my new goto matcha spot in the city. read more

Tried Tadaima for the first time for a pickup order. The food is really tasty, though a bit pricey. We ended up staying at the shop for a bit because we decided to order more, which turned out to be a good thing, we realized our order was actually incorrect. We were given an Unagi Musubi without the avocado, and one bacon, spam and egg musbi was missing entirely. Luckily, since we were still there, we were able to get it sorted out quickly. Definitely recommend checking your bag before you leave! Also, a small note on the Spam Musubi with Avocado: it tasted great, but the avocado had already turned black. It would be a huge improvement if these were made fresh to order to keep the avocado fresh. Great flavors overall, just keep an eye on your order details! read more

Tadaima is a great spot for matcha! The service is great all the cashiers that have taken my order have been very sweet. It's a small space with a couple seats inside and very little standing room but it's cute dark green and natural wood asthetic. I would recommend any of their matchas and chicken sando. I especially love the pistachio matcha latte. I haven't had any of their fruit Sandos so I can't say for those. But generally their milk bread is so fluffy and they don't skip on meat. I've tried their shrimp and pork katsu sandwiches but by the time I tried them they were cold and a little hard so the savory Sandos are very much made to eat asap imo. The misubis and onigiris aren't really that good and aren't worth the price imo but are very filling if you want a quick snack. Overall, I love coming here and bringing friends to try the matcha! read more

A nice cafe walking distance to Dolores Park. I got a Strawberry Matcha and a Hojicha cream top latte and both were solid. Also got some of the onigiri to go and they were good too. I think it's a nice, quick spot to stop by on the way to the park to enjoy drinks and a snack. P.S. they give out free stickers so go grab one! read more

Wow. So good. I got a matcha with strawberry foam, chicken karage sandwich, miso snow crab onigiri, and the salmon onigiri. Everything made fresh and in a timely manner. The matcha was a bright green and a great balance of flavors. Sweet but not too much. I didn't add any adjustments in milk or flavor. Great qualify matcha. The sandwich was sooo good. It was a bit pricey at $16, but after eating it, I understand the price. The chicken was so crispy and the everything was so flavorful and fresh. The onigiris came with meat both inside and outside of the rice. What a great size and portion. Rice wasn't dry & held together nicely. Overall, I'd come back for sure. Definitely worth it. read more

It was okay, I added no sugar and got a strawberry matcha with almond milk. Could've been better but the spam was very delicious super busy on the weekends so make sure you get there early! Will come back to try something else in the menu though! read more

I would definitely come back to Tadaima, but not necessarily for the matcha. Our drinks were good with no real complaints, but the standout of the visit was the sando. I've heard this place can get quite busy, but since I'm visiting from out of town, I came on a Friday right around opening and it was pretty manageable. There were only a few people ahead of us and we were able to grab window seating inside, which was perfect. The katsu sando was phenomenal. One issue I often run into with Japanese-style sandos in the U.S. is the bread. It can be dry or not quite the soft milk bread texture you'd expect, but that wasn't the case here. The bread was soft and slightly thicker, which worked well with the fillings. The karaage was incredibly tender and juicy while still crispy, and the slaw and sauces added a really nice balance of savory sweetness and acidity. The drinks were well made and tasted high quality, but next time I'd definitely focus more on trying additional food items. read more

I've kept hearing about Tadaima and finally got to check them out! I went with the salted cream Matcha bc I really wanted to try their matcha authentically. It was good. The salted cream kindve sunk to the bottom so next time I think I would stir then drink unless you like it separate. I also tried the spam musabi which was really good. The texture of the rice was perfect was good and the spices from spam and egg blended well with the rice. I also tried soft shell onigilly Which was soo fire! I had to buy two bc I guess you can only in pairs so I got the yuzu salmon. A little dry for my liking. I've heard each location has different food menus so maybe I'll try out the other locations but I thought their matcha was pretty standard. read more

Tadaima is a Japanese phrase that translates to "I'm home" or "I'm back" in English. While I probably wouldn't be back so soon, the concept, drinks, and food is good for a quick bite but at a pretty high typical Bay Area cost. F O O D: We tried the egg & potato sandwich, the pineapple & tonkatsu sandwich, miso snow crab onigiri, and mushroom & pickled daikon onigiri. Both of the onigiri were a flop, the crab was too fishy and the mushrooms lacked flavor. Both needed an additional sauce or something to be worth their cost. The egg & potato sandwich does have a runny yolk in the center so I wasn't a fan but my bf loved it. I enjoyed the tonkatsu sandwich with its sweet pineapple and aoili. However, at the end of the day, it's just sandwiches so the cost was too much for it to be worth it to me. I would come here again probably for the drinks if I was a total matcha fan. D R I N K S We tried the Matcha Latte w/ Pistachio Cream and the Something and Nothing Hibiscus & Rose soda. The matcha latte's pistachio cream with a pinch of pistachio crumbles on top was a great addition to their creamy matcha! We were genuinely impressed by Something and Nothing's Hibiscus & Rose soda as it had no fake ingredients and it was low calorie! I would definitely get this soda over mainstream sodas on the market. S E R V I C E The service is quick and friendly, although it definitely has a bit of that Gen Z stare going on. Orders are prepared quickly and efficiently. A M B I A N C E Modern feel, trendy vibe, chic take on sandos, classic matcha place feel. There is only seating for two at a table and two at a bar facing the street window. There's a bit of seating outside but it was too chilly to stay. No outdoor heating lamps. read more

St. Patricks Day has arrived and it's going to be another hot day in San Francisco. There is a place to grab something green and refreshing to drink in the Mission. This location is first store to open and now has three total stores all across San Francisco. This place also has hojicha, musubi, onigiri, and sandwiches. This has become a staple for Japanese matcha especially for Don Juan de la Matcha. Growing up in the Mission and seeing the growth of the neighborhood has made me proud to seeing businesses offering great quality matcha. The namesake means I am home in Japanese and it's called Tadaima. On a Mission stroll in my old stomping grounds a place I always call home I went to get some green drink at Tadaima. Don Juan de La Matcha had to get some green matcha drink for St. Patrick's Day. I got the Matcha Latte with salted cheese cream. The drink was smooth not too sweet and a bit cheesy like some in SF. I then I got the chicken karaage sando and it was savory and the chicken had a bit of a crunchy batter it had house sauce and had a purple colored cabbage. Overall a good place to pick up matcha in the Mission because I feel Tadaima , I am home. On my social media I see lots of food reviewers " theatrics" hats off to the real and not those trying to do some " hat tricks" like adding too much sauce which is exaggeration and fabrication really stains your " fabrics" of truth and the best you can do is get some green and clean matcha for " St. Patrick's " In San Francisco all roads lead to Mission street just like "Rome "when in the city where I "roam"to grab some matcha topped with some cheese "foam" at Tadaima which in Japanese means "I am home" read more

One of the best matchas I've tried in the Bay Area hands down. I really loved the cream they added on top, really puts everything together. The cafe is quite small inside so when it gets busy it's get cramped inside. The service was simple quick and easy. I ordered the iced matcha latte with pistachio cream and also the iced matcha latte with the salted cream. Both were really good but I would say my personal favorite of the two is the iced matcha latte with pistachio cream. Both drinks were still very enjoyable and satisfying. Overall I give this cafe a 5/5 star review just because the matcha was that good and I want to go back already! read more

Got the chicken katsu Sando and the yuzu salmon onigiri. Delicious!!!! The onigiri came in a pair and looked deceptively light but was good for a meal in itself. Neither flavor overpowering - onigiri was perfectly balanced and came with brown/wild rice instead of the regular polished white. The chicken sando was light with the soft bread and the chicken katsu was not greasy too. Will definitely try again and get the fish katsu sando next time at their inner sunset location. Sadly it was not available at the mission outlet! read more

First time at Tadaima! I came here with my friend on a Sunday around 1 pm and we waited about 20 min in line. Once you order the drinks come out fast! We both really liked our drinks. I had the Jasmine Tea w/ Matcha Cream (4/5) which was perfectly sweet. I really liked how well the Jasmine and matcha paired together. My friend also really liked her Matcha w/ Strawberry Cream! Even though there are no chunks of strawberry the cream was a bright strawberry flavor. I want to come back to try their sandwiches! read more

Came here on a Sunday at 1pm, the line was long but went by quick! Staff is nice, ordering is easy. You know when you go to a new cafe and you see the color of the matcha and you just know it's gonna be bad? Yeah well I ordered the salted cheese matcha latte with oat milk, I have to say - this is the worst matcha I've ever had. I should've known better when I saw the color...It was very bitter as expected. Maybe it just wasn't a good day? But the color of the matcha looked very oxidized, like it wasn't stored correctly. Maybe my matcha standards are just high because I've had matcha in Japan? Lol For food, I ordered the strawberry and cream sando and the egg and potato salad sando. The sandos were amazing and I would definitely come back for them. I also want to try the other sandos and onigiris next time. My friend really enjoyed his hojicha so maybe I'll get that next time. Just absolutely no thank you to the matcha. Being a place that's known for its matcha, I'm giving it a 2.5 star rating. read more

Ordered red bean mochi matcha sando and two matcha lattes (one strawberry and one pistachio). The highlight was the drinks. strawberry is def sweet, the pistachio was salty. Both are really good to share with a friend and alternate. Don't do straws cause then you miss out on the delicious cream top. The Sando was yummy, but the beans texture threw me off because they were solid. read more

Food was absolutely delicious! You MUST try their strawberry sandos!! Chefs kiss. And their matcha is very rich so I don't recommend if it's not your favorite but it's also very sweet. I've never had a sweet matcha that maintained it's richness in the matcha! 10/10 recommend! The only reason i didn't give it a 5 star is because i wish it had a cute ambiance to the place. There wasn't much room to dine in. More of a grab and go experience. read more

Pretty bummed about my experience here. This restaurant has so much hype. I see long lines from all the time, and I finally got around to trying it, and it was just okay. The first time I came here, I got the strawberry matcha latte with my friends. We ordered it via delivery on DoorDash, and I'm not sure if it's just the whole delivery part, but I could not taste any part of the strawberry! It just tasted like regular cream on top. Typically I'm more of a coffee person than matcha, so I'm not a great judge in whether this was good matcha or not. But I guess it did taste ok in my opinion. The funny thing is, my coworker also said the same thing when she ordered the strawberry matcha latte a separate time! Disappointing. A separate time, we also ordered from them via delivery. This time I was eager to try their food items instead, since they have a pretty interesting selection, like those cake sandwiches and various Japanese items. I got the spam masubi, which I thought would be a solid choice. It did arrive warm, but the slice of spam that was in the masubi was so thin! It was the thinnest piece of spam I had ever gotten, and I've gotten spam masubis at a variety of places including ABC stores and other places in Hawaii, and even various stores in the States. The rice was okay, some brown rice thing with seasoning, that was decent but not my preferred white rice. Overall my two times here have been disappointing. I will really never line up for this place in person, nor will I understand why people do. read more

The sandwiches were so good!! I especially liked the chicken one and the strawberry cream one. The strawberry cream one wasn't too sweet, which I really liked. The matcha was good too, but I wish my matcha with strawberry cream had a stronger strawberry cream flavor since it got pretty light after a few sips. It's a small store, so it gets crowded pretty easily, but the food didn't take too long. The line moves relatively quickly, and the service was quick and easy. There are about 4 tables inside and a bench outside if you want to eat there. read more

Such good matcha flavor in both of our drinks!! Really fast service despite the lengthy line. Matcha latte w/ strawberry cream - strawberry cream had a super mild strawberry flavor, to the point where it was like a whisper of strawberry when full mixed...but I didn't mind bc the matcha was just that good on its own. Got half sweetness and that was very lightly sweet, so normal sweet is prolly not that sweet Jasmine tea w/ matcha cream - super yum and refreshing. Jasmine tea was strong & so was the matcha top!! Sooo green when mixed together as well. Lovely experience--defo want to return to try the other matcha cream lattes (pistachio/salted cream) as well as dirty matcha. Parking sucked so bad tho but that's Mission for u on a Saturday afternoon oop read more

Honestly was very surprised how much I liked the matcha with strawberry cream. That's their most popular drink and I can see why! The matcha is pre-mixed, but when topped with the strawberry cream, it elevates it and gives it a nice, fruity flavor with the earthy matcha. I've tried the regular matcha before, but definitely prefer this one! The strawberry cream sandwich has a tad too much cream for my preference, but I do like how fluffy the bread is! Service is quick and efficient. There are a few seats inside, a bench outside and a small table outside, but it's more of a pick up and go spot. Will be returning to try the matcha with pistachio cream! read more

Ordered ahead and the wait time was about 20 minutes which was really convenient. Got there at the estimated pickup time however no text was sent to confirm the order was ready. It was a little confusing because the order is put aside and in a fridge and the workers were calling out orders and quickly turning around before we could ask for further assistance. Ended up waiting an extra 10 minutes before getting a workers attention to get my order. Because of this mix up I feel like my experience was a bit flawed. The strawberry cream matcha no longer had any strawberry cream... It had all settled and mixed in before I was given my drink, but the salted foam stayed separate. The drinks were both good. Matcha flavor was stronger in the salted cheese foam latte than it was in the strawberry drink, that one was lighter since everything was already mixed together. I ordered the strawberry foam latte less sweet and it was still pretty sweet so I would recommend getting less sweet. Good standard matcha but not mind blowing. Very limited seating since the interior is small and theres a couple tables outside. read more

Tasty and refreshing drinks in the Mission Gotta start by saying that the place is tiny, but I love their branding - the greens, decor, typography, and whole ambiance. Line wasn't too bad and it goes by fast! Before heading over, I was set on getting a Kinako cream latte - only to find it blacked out on the menu :( I ended up getting a black sesame latte (caffeine free drink) and my boyfriend got a dirty matcha cream latte (comes with 2 shots of espresso). Black sesame was smooth and creamy! They also offer snacks such as savory and sweet sandos (though the sweet sandos seem pricey for what they are ranging from $12-$14), Onigiri, and musubi. We were also unlucky with parking and had to circle around a couple times (Saturday afternoon). Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way to get matcha here as there are other places just as good. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd like to try their miso snow crab Onigiri! read more

Wanted to give this place a try because of social media and it didn't disappoint! I saw the line going out the door and noticed that you could mobile order. I opted for that and my order was done 20 minutes before the posted time which was so nice! I got the strawberry matcha and strawberry sando. The total came out to be $21. I thought the sando was a little on the expensive side ($12) but I'm never in the area and wanted to give it a try. It was what I expected, it's just bread, cream, and strawberries. The matcha was on the grainer side but it was still delicious. read more

Was not surprised to see a huge line out the door on a Sunday afternoon! I've heard about Tadaima on social media long before I managed to visit this past weekend, and it's easy to tell that this is a place that gets matcha right. price: ~$9 ( :') ) I got the strawberry cream matcha with almond milk. The portion size was super generous IMO, maybe because I'm so used to some places adding way too much ice. But I do wish that this came with a bit of a larger portion of strawberry cream top. The matcha itself was very strong, if that's what you're looking for. Line moves fast and the wait isn't terribly long. read more

I came here right at 12pm on a Saturday and there was no line! It was about a 10 min walk from 24th St. Mission BART, which I recommend instead of finding parking in the area. It's a fairly small space, with two seats by the window and another table behind. There were about 3 tables outside and a bench at the front, so good enough seats! Luckily, I had the seat by the window with my dog. Iced Matcha Latte w Oat Milk: 9/10! So good! The oat milk wasn't too thick and uh can defs taste the matcha. I'd love to try their other matchas on the menu! Chicken Filet Karage Sando: 6/10! It looks super appetizing! The bread is too thick for me, and although it is p good, it reminded me of a McDonalds Chicken Sandwich haha, which is also delicious! A great try and it is tasty, wouldn't get it again. A great spot for a grab and go, it's also a short walk to Dolores Park, so you can bring your food and drink there! I'll defs come again! read more
